The Counter Communications System is a transportable space electronic warfare system that reversibly denies adversary satellite communications. It is the first space control platform acknowledged by the Space Force and provides quick reaction capability with direct operational support to the warfighter. First introduced in 2004, the CCS has undergone several upgrades, with Block 10.2 achieving Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in March 2020. Currently, the CCS is undergoing a “step-change” capability upgrade as it transitions to the “Meadowland” variant. On Dec. 11, 2025, L3Harris Technologies announced it had delivered the first Meadowlands Counter Communications System production unit to the U.S. Space Force’s Mission Delta 3. It is a compact ground-based satellite signal jammer.
